More than 350 schoolchildren from five primary schools participate on Friday of this educational proposal

 

The Tenerife Symphony Orchestra is offering this Saturday [the 5th], at 12:00 noon, the Nuevos Mundos (New Worlds)family concert under the direction of Ignacio García-Vidal and with the participation of Ana Hernández Sanchiz as narrator. This activity will take place in the Auditorio de Tenerife and offers us fragments of the New World Symphony (Symphony No. 9) by Anton Dvorak. 

This educational proposal will have a concert on Friday [the 4th] at 10:30 a.m. as an aperitif, being attended by more than 350 schoolchildren from five primary schools: Colegio Virgen del Mar (Santa Cruz), CEIP Mencey Bencomo (Santa Úrsula), Salesianos San Isidro (La Orotava), CEIP Punta Brava (Puerto de la Cruz) and IES Canarias (La Laguna). The school and family concerts will be held in the Symphony Hall.

The Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga, has praised the work "which the Tenerife Symphony has been carrying out in the socio-educational sphere, striving each season to reach audiences of all ages."  The vice president of the Island Council added to that, stating, "We who are part of the Island Council are committed to this interest in bringing music closer to the public – not only through seasonal concerts, but through these types of initiatives for a family audience and through the visits that are made to the social service/healthcare centres."

Tickets for the family concert can be purchased until fifteen minutes before the performance on the website www.auditoriodetenerife.com, at the Auditorium's box office and by dialling the phone number 902 317 327 from Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Saturdays 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The audience is requested to arrive at the venue well in advance to enter the hall in staggered "waves".

By purchasing tickets, you accept the measures implemented by the cultural centre to combat COVID-19, such as the correct use of masks and the attendance at the event only with people you live with. 

In addition, spectators over 12 years and 3 months of age will be asked to provide the following at the time they access the venue: a COVID-19 certificate showing fully vaccinated status, a negative COVID-19 active infection diagnostic test performed in the last 48 hours by a legally authorised laboratory (at-home tests from the chemists are not allowed), or an official certificate proving that you have had the infection between 11 and 180 days prior to the event.
